Format values in Table

Hi,

 

I used the <table> under visualizations to get a summary result.

I am wondering if there is a way to format the values of count, total and percentage? 

i.e. format count and total w/ a thousands separator, making 5189 = 5,189 and display percentage up to 1 decimal place.

They are not created measures; therefore, I am not able to apply the formats.

 

Thank you in advance for the support!

    To make the Percentage values to 1 decimal, Select the column that you are using to display in the table. Go to modelling pane on top and in formatting increase the decimal to 1 instead of auto.

     

    For other issue I did not get what you are trying exactly. Do you want the TOTAL  displayed at the end of table to be separated accordingly  or each value in column Count or Total to be separated accordingly.

    Have you tried the solution provided by pxg08680 above? Does it work in your scenario? If it works, could you accept it as solution to close this thread?

  • The solution does not work for me. I clicked on the field in the table, went to modeling and select the "," and the count does not format with a "," in the field or the total row. That is 5189 should be 5,189 and it is not. What else do I need to do?

      However when I went to Visualizations > Format and went to the Field formatting and selected the field from the drop down I changed Value decimal places to 0 the comma appears in the format.
